«Tony accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved,» the spokesperson said in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and TMZ. «We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close and we are communicating with CBS about next steps.»
